Remaining One
every time you take it out on me
you lose a little of my respect
and you are scared of being on your own
why are you treating me like this?
i might as well be leaving home
every time you hurt
i go down a little more
i begin to wonder if i know anything
except that i am sticking around, that is for sure
you won’t leave me alone
you keep on at me
you keep dragging me down
your behaviour is irrational
do you expect me to stick around
James Garratt – July 1995
